What guests think

Hôtel Astoria draws consistent praise for its unbeatable location opposite Geneva’s main station and generally friendly, helpful staff, while rooms are typically small and basic, with dated decor and frequent complaints about weak air conditioning and street noise.

Most guests find the hotel clean and well kept, though a few report maintenance issues or unpleasant odors. Bathrooms and showers are often very compact. An attached pub serves breakfast and meals, generally appreciated though not always included in rates. Expect a simple, central base best for short, value-minded stays.

It’s a good property in terms of being right across the street from the train station. The shower in the bathroom is pretty tiny and the room is a bit tough to navigate with more than 1 suitcase but having the pub attached to it as a meal and drink option is terrific.

My room was small by American standards, but adequate for my purposes as a place to sleep and shower. The room was very clean. The location is great, right across from the train terminal and only a few minutes' walk to the riverfront. The front desk staff were very professional and helpful. The breakfast in the adjacent pub/restaurant was very good. I did not find the bed to be very comfortable with a thin and hard mattress. My room faced the street and the sirens at night woke me up a couple of times. Overall, I would stay here again but would request a room away from the street and a foam mattress cover if one is available.

This hotel was nasty. Pictures online were not what we encountered. The room was dirty, stained, smelled like smoke. Service was not professional or accommodating. We had booked for a 3 day stay, but after one night, checked out & went to another hotel. They refused to refund our money, we had paid for all 3 nights. Rude. But place was disgusting.

The hotel location is great for access to Geneva’s main train station- directly across the street and convenient if you’re just passing through. The lobby is lovely but our room was a dump. Wallpaper was peeling off with clear water damage over several walls. The room smelled of mold and mildew. We had to keep our patio door wide open to make the room breathable. The shower is so small it was impossible for my husband (average size man) to reach above his head to wash his hair and he couldn’t turn around in the shower or dry off in the bathroom. Walkable to Old Town and the lake (15ish min) so was tolerable for our one night but I would never stay here again.

The decor was a bit sparse, and the wallpaper in my room was starting to peel, but you could tell they took pride in keeping the room clean. I was not impressed with any of the staff at the front desk, but overall, I can recommend the hotel

The room and building were quite warm. You need to put your key into the master switch when you walk into your room which means the AC turns off when you leave. It takes a while to cool back down and the humidity kinda lingers. But otherwise the hotel was nice for a short stay and conveniently located near the main train station. The old town and lake weren’t a far walk.

While the staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were a little grotty and the aircon barely worked making it very stuffy and uncomfortable at night. I liked the pub next door - probably one of the cheapest places in Geneva to get a cold beer on a hot day.

If you are looking for a low cost option I think this is a fine place to stay. The bed was comfortable, and it was nice to have a fridge in the room. I also found the room to be quite clean with the exception of the balcony which includes only a chair and a dead plant. I could see that one of my neighbors had a table and a partially living plant. The one thing this place needs to fix is the AC. It has no power and when I entered the room it haf been off for God knows how long. It didn't feel moderately cool until the next day...and then only less hot than outside. I hope they will improve their AC as this is a huge factor in the summer. Also, it would be useful to tell guests that there is an awning and those metal blinds at least in the balcony rooms and that could help the place be kept cool. Finally, don't use the chain deadlock. I was embarrassed to get stuck in the room, which was actually kind of scary in addition to almost missing a very important bus. This was very upsetting as I had to turn on my cellular roaming which I never do and god knows how much that's going to cost me. I spoke to another guest who also had a lot of difficulty with this lock. Despite these inconveniences, I really liked the man at the front desk who works in the evening and I found the location convenient. I would consider staying here again if I spoke to the staff beforehand to ensure the AC has been on and the hairdryer works )this has been another issue).

The room was VERY hot and uncomfortable and the AC unit did not seem to do anything. It was a very small room with very small pillows and definitely not worth the price… only positives were that it was very near to the station and the British Pub downstairs was very good.
